Shepherdstorn Register: Mr.. James
Tenant, Waterman at the paper mill at
the river in Shepherdstown reports very
peculiar event that happened few days
AGO. lie had an outline across the river
Just below the wagon bridge, which he
was in the habit Of batting in the evening
and going over in the morning TO take
the fish of. Thursday morning one part
of the line felt very heavy, and as be
raised it from the water he saw musket
and an eel tangled up in the line. In
yestigation showed that the eel had been
caught on the hook, and, seeking to pull
itself loose, had wrapped its tail around
the old musket lying on the bottom oil
the river and pulled it up TO the line. In
its struggle the eel had gotten the line
wrapped around the gun, holding 1t 80
that Mr.. Tenant was able 70 secure it.
During the war a ferry-boat crowded
with Confederate soldiers was sunk at
that place, and about twenty OF them
were drowned. The musket was doubt
less a part of the equipmentof the sold
iers, and has lain IN the river ever since.
Although this story sounds like "hsh
tale.n We assure our readers that 1t is
absolutely true, and Mr.. Tenant now has
in his possession the gun 80 strangely re-
covered.

Bee MeteOrOlOgy.

Numerous observations have shown
EEmering, German scientist, that
bees, otherwise gentle and harmless,
become exceedingly irritable and ex.
cltable on the approach of thunder
storms; and he thinks that their con
duct may be taken as reliably indi-
eating whether a storm is impending
over certain district or not. In a
succession of instances, the barometer
and hygrometer foretold storm, the
bees remaining quiet, and no storm
occurred; or the instruments gave no
intlmation of a storm, but the bees for
hours before were irritable, and the
storm came. With regard to rain
merely, the barometer and hygrometer
are safer guides than bees; but in the
case of thunderstorm the indica-
tons of the bees appear to be the
more trustworthy.

A subscriber down in Utah writes

desire to settle his subscription in
eggs. We are proud of this man and

tude whether he sends us the eggs or
not. 1t shows an honest intention on
his part to pay the printer what Is
justly due him. Still we bashfully
admit that we would prefer the eggs

Eggs. Evidently something to eat,

Our information on the subject Is not

reckless and extravagant to really and

THE SCHOOL TRUSTEES,
ihey are Undecided In the Matter OF
Setting Out Trees Around the School


Setting Out Trees Around the School
Lot.
The Board of School Trustees in.
tend to plant shade trees all around
the school house block. By putting
them 16 feet apart 70 trees will do.
For about $50 the trees can be got
about three years old and set out, so
that that they will begin to give shade
this year, and in two years be of con-
siderable size. The only thing that
puzzles the Trustees in this connec-
ton is the choice of trees. Some of the
taxpayers wish to set out alder, others
balm of Gilead, and others still Lom-
hardy poplars. The last make the
most desirable shade tree of all those
named, and grow most rapidly. In
order to please every body as much as
possible, it would perhaps be as we'll
to plant large alders or balm of Gil
eads now and small popIars in be-
tween. In three or four years the
poplars could give all the shade want
ed, and the less desirable trees be cut
down.

are an unfailing index of the enter

the gentleman: "Wherever you find
a lively newspaper, there you will fnd
a progressive town. If the business

is we'll filed with advertisements, you
can count upon that place being a
field for investment. l have large

Gus thriving towns, and my unfaillng

man further said that he was much
pleased with Ogden, having just
stopped off for few days, on his way
to other places. Aft,r a few other
pleasant and congratulatory remarks.
he left, but announced his intention
of calling again to see the papers he
had inquired for. He evidently has
not spent his years in vain, and his
remarks may be considered by Ogden
business men with great deal of
profit to themselves and their town.
